Title: Check Connector for Best Audio Quality
Review: At first the sound was kind of muddy, almost muffled. I never used a 2.5mm lock jack before, but realized I didn’t put it in properly. After locking the connector, the sound quality was MUCH better. Best headset I’ve ever had. It doesn’t leave any kind of headset dent in my hair, the cushions are very soft and don’t irritate me, I’ve only had the headset on my head for a max of ~2 hours at a time but it seems perfectly fine for extended use, it doesn’t look ugly, it feels relatively solid but maybe a tad bit on the cheaper side (which is fine since it’s a budget headset), it’s lightweight, and the cable it comes with is pretty long which is the pretty ideal. The sound is pretty flat, neutral, but overall clear. Considering these headphones are open back, there is a lot of sound leakage if you listen on a higher volume, and you will hear the things around you if you live in a noisy environment. I was only going to use it for music, but decided to use it as my main driver for my PS5 and ordered a BoomPro microphone to go with it.

Title: It’s like listening to your favorite songs for the first time.
Review: My Use Cases:- Gaming ~50%- YouTube/TV ~25%- Listening to or analyzing Music ~15%- Podcasts and audiobooks ~ 10%Praiseworthy Comments:- Most (I say most because some songs just sound too harsh) music is well balanced, with every instrument distinguishable and vibrant. I love listening to music in these, and if I have live recordings that I’m editing they help me pick out every listless detail with ease.- FPS games with a focus on awareness sound crisp, clear and atmospheric. I can’t comment to how the sound stage compares to other headphones, but I had the HyperX Cloud II’s before this and I would say they are similar. Being able to pick out details more clearly on the 560S really gives it the edge though.- I can barely feel it on my head. It is so light and it really is comfortable to me. I don’t think the clamping pressure is too big and I have more of a round head.** I can play a video or a podcast while I’m playing a game and I’m able to distinguish both audio sources. I couldn’t do this on my Cloud II’a as they were just too muddy and I couldn’t hear either well. For me this is actually really huge as I play casual games, or sweaty games and I like listening to a podcast, news, or YouTube.- they look nice. Really simple aesthetic. Not bulky, wide, or different colors/textures.Noteworthy Criticisms:- the treble clarity and levels were overwhelming at first. I turned down the volume a good amount but my ears were tuned to different headphones. My Cloud II’s used some pleather ear pads and the bass was a bit stronger because they were closed back. The 560S is so open back you can hear yourself talk while listening to music. So the sound is just different from the cloud II’s.- I tried some “sheep skin” ear pads with these headphones and the clarity was lost. I got used to the clarity of the lows, mids and treble and I had a hard time adjusting to the sheep skin pads. I’ll try them again, and I’ll play around with the EQ but idk if I’ll want to switch from the velour.- even though they look good they feel cheap. I am going to take care of these, but I don’t necessarily think plastic can take a beating like metal components can. They will stay at my desk at all times so I’m not worried.- lack of lower end bass. You can hear the bass, the tone of the bass, and they clarity of the notes but there aren’t a lot of sub frequencies pushing through. I like this now, but it took some time to adjust.- no mic for gaming. I hardly meet anyone online anymore anyways, (sadly) so doesn’t change much for me.Final Thoughts:For $140 it’s hard to go wrong with these if your looking for a set with mid range audio quality. They are light, have a clean aesthetic, have ample clarity, and can be EQ’d (if that’s your thing) to some degree.I would recommend this to someone that analyzes their audio, or more specifically you are paying attention to a lot of different details in whatever it is you are listening to.Don’t buy these if you just want a pair of gaming headphones or you don’t know what is best for you. You may not like the sound.

Title: The one to beat
Review: These are outstanding headphones at any price, and an unbelievable value at their typical ~$150 street price. I'm a recovering headphone addict and these have been good enough to help me stay sober. I think if your budget is up to $300 and you don't want to fuss around with amps and DACs and other gear considerations, these are probably the best "plug 'em into anything" headphones I've ever owned. They're light, they're comfortable for average-sized heads (though see more below), and they sound great playing any content from any source.Highlights:- Value: I've owned a lot of headphones (including perennial darlings like the HD600+650 and Audio-Technica ATX-M50 and higher-end stuff like the Audeze LCD-X and Focal Clear) and honestly, the headphone world is a perfect case study for the Law of Diminishing Returns. In other words, you can spend $150 on the 560S and get 75% of the sound quality that's even possible, or spend $1500 to get to like 85%. For most people, this is the sane stopping point.- Weight: the all-plastic build lets these float on your head at 280g (9.9 oz). For comparison, the Hifiman Sundara (another highly regarded pair of <$300 headphones) weighs 379g (13.4 oz). Three ounces may not sound like much, but over the course of hours, you really feel every ounce that's sitting on your head.- Easy to drive: I use these plugged directly into a PS5 controller and they get plenty loud at roughly 50-60% volume. I've tried them with different combinations of amps and DACs as well, but such gadgets are totally unnecessary to get the most out of the 560S.- Perfect audio for gaming: the wide soundstage is great, as is the sharp treble for picking out things like voices, footsteps, and gunfire. These are very popular with FPS players, and I can see why. I don't play PvP games, but they've saved me from many a cheap off-camera attack with their amazing positional audio cues. The nicest surprise on these is the bass, which is meatier than you'd expect for open-backed headphones. Unfortunately, because of the proprietary cable jack, I had to buy a kooky adapter (ASIN: B07Z2MPW61) so I could use the V-Moda BoomPro mic I had lying around for voice chat. The overall setup is a bit klunky but almost certainly outperforms popular gaming headsets.- Surprising noise isolation: these are by no means going to block out the outside world like a pair of closed-back headphones, but there are enough layers of stuff inside them between the grille and your ear that you're not going to hear everything around you with them on.Lowlights:- Oddball connector: I despise proprietary connectors, and Sennheiser's 2.5mm recessed jack with a twist lock is one of the most obnoxious on the market. What they lose in compatibility with other cables is by no means gained in security—who cares if your headphones unplug at the earcup when subjected to intense force?- Not very comfortable for big heads and big ears: although the design of these is generally compared to the HD500 line, having owned the absurdly comfortable HD598SE, I can say these don't come close. They clamp kind of hard and worse, the earpad foam is thin and when it flattens out (immediately), it presses the driver units against the cartilage of my ears. Fortunately, I was able to modify these with some third-party 3d-printed adapter rings so I could use bigger, cushier pads from Brainwavz. Now I can use them for 4+ hours without major discomfort. This may not be an issue if you don't have big ears like I do. Also worth noting is that some styles of glasses will be agony with these.- Not as nice for music: the things that make them perfect for games (accentuated high frequencies) make them a riskier proposition for music. Your mileage may vary, of course, but these can be pretty spicy for certain instruments and effects.All in all, despite the added hassles and costs to make these comfortable for my anatomy, I'm still very happy with them and don't think I could do better for my use case (plugged directly into PS5 controller with an inline mic) at any price. For their usual price of $150-180, I can't see what anyone could complain about. Thanks for reading! Reviewer: Mar-Joe

Review: Among tons of audio gear I've tried this headphone is a good way to start the audiophile path.My ultimate goal with the hd560s was to plug it into my guitar headphone amp. I can listen to the music courses on the tv then play with the open back headphones without bothering my 2 young kids at night. THAT'S the goal!The sound is neutral as the item description stated which is perfect not much coloration with my guitar. No hiss, no Buzz. Dead silent.IT does the job perfectly fine sound wise.A wider headband ( from ear to ear ) would've been better. The cups are touching the upper part over my ears instead of symmetrically pressing all around my ears.. My HD600 is top notch perfect in comparison.The fit is tight so it's not moving at all when i look at my fretboard when i play the guitar.What stood up with these headphones when i listen to music is cymbals and female vocals proximity. That's 2 strong points. The weak point would be empty / lifeless. I'm not excited at all when i listen to music with the HD 560s but it just sounds great. No hype or fun just plain good music thru good sounding headphones. I don't like to EDM or hip-hop with these headphones. Only organic instrument related music.Ecologically not friendly, the amount of plastic used in the packaging is insane!I would buy it again and never part with it until it breaks, same thing for my HD600. KEEPERS

Review: Eu adoro esse headphone, mas eu tinha um Philips SHP9500 antes que foi guerreiro, ele me custou na época uns 500 pila, e tá vivão até hoje só meio batidinho, mas o som ainda é bala. Fui de Sennheiser pra entrar na onda, mas em termos de áudio é muito próximo. Ele é mais apertado na cabeça, tem um pouco mais de clamping, mas nada desconfortável. Ele não cai se você abaixar a cabeça, enquanto o SHP9500 cai. Mas também as vezes você até esquece que tem algo na sua cabeça com o Philips.Em resumo, o fone é excelente, só é difícil justificar o preço dado que o Philips é excelente também, e muito mais barato.

Review: No me considero un audiófilo, pero puedo apreciar la excelente calidad de sonido de estos audífonos. Por el precio es de lo mejor que puedas conseguir.Obviamente para poder dar un precio bajo tienen que ahorrar en otras cosas, como la calidad de los materiales y la estética. No es que sea mala, se siente una construcción sólida y no son feos, pero tampoco se siente que vayan a durar tantos años ni sobresalen en lo estético.Son relativamente cómodos, aunque a mi en lo personal me cansan después de unas horas. Según algunas reseñas que he visto, esto mejora con el tiempo de uso.Yo en lo personal no considero que sea necesario utilizar un amplificador o un DAC adicional. La mayoría de las computadoras y teléfonos tienen DACs de suficiente calidad y si escuchas la música con un volumen que no dañe tus oídos, el amplificador que tienen estos dispositivos es suficiente para 120 Ohms de impedancia. Si crees que un amplificador externo mejora la "firma" del sonido, entonces tal vez lo que necesitas es usar un ecualizador, que para teléfono y PC puedes descargar algunos de manera gratuita.Lo que si es probable que quieras comprar es un cable distinto. El cable incluido es de poco mas de 3 metros de longitud. Si uno de los usos que le quieres dar es escuchar música de tu celular puede ser poco práctico un cable tan largo, además del adaptador de 6.3 a 3.5 mm. Aquí venden algunos de metro, metro y medio con conector de 3.5mm que ya no requiere adaptador, e incluso algunos que incluyen micrófono. Sólo fíjate que sean compatibles con estos audífonos, ya que el conector del lado de los audífonos es de 2.5mm y tiene una forma especial que no cualquier conector tiene.En general, si te importa más la calidad de sonido y el precio que la estética y ciertas funciones adicionales, estos audífonos son excelentes.

Review: This is the first open backed headphone that I have used. My interest is mainly in classical music. The sound quality is very pleasing to my ears. My portable CD player (iriver) has sufficient output to drive the headphones. Listening to various tracks on my Fiio X3 mk DAP the output is not loud enough and my old Fiio E06 headphone amplifier improves performance considerably. Perhaps my digital files have been ripped at too low a level. A prospective user might check the output levels of their devices.The sound insulation on these headphones is not great but that is the penalty one is paying for the great sound.
